Bromodeoxyuridine, Brdu (BrdU) ELISA Kit for Rat

Intended Uses: This sandwich kit is for the accurate quantitative detection of Rat Bromodeoxyuridine (also known as BrdU) in serum, plasma, cell culture supernates, cell lysates, tissue homogenates.

Principles of the Assay: This kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The plate has been pre-coated with Rat BrdU antibody. BrdU present in the sample is added and binds to antibodies coated on the wells. And then biotinylated Rat BrdU Antibody is added and binds to BrdU in the sample. Then Streptavidin-HRP is added and binds to the Biotinylated BrdU antibody. After incubation unbound Streptavidin-HRP is washed away during a washing step. Substrate solution is then added and color develops in proportion to the amount of Rat BrdU. The reaction is terminated by addition of acidic stop solution and absorbance is measured at 450 nm.

Small volumes of BrdU elisa kit vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

MBS161691 is a ready-to-use microwell, strip plate ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) Kit for analyzing the presence of the Bromodeoxyuridine, BrdU, ELISA Kit target analytes in biological samples. The concentration gradients of the kit standards or positive controls render a theoretical kit detection range in biological research samples containing BrdU. The ELISA analytical biochemical technique of the MBS161691 kit is based on BrdU antibody-BrdU antigen interactions (immunosorbency) and an HRP colorimetric detection system to detect BrdU antigen targets in samples. The ELISA Kit is designed to detect native, not recombinant, BrdU. Appropriate sample types may include undiluted body fluids and/or tissue homogenates, secretions. Quality control assays assessing reproducibility identified the intra-assay CV (%) and inter-assay CV(%).
